Kwame Brown is reportedly looking to sign a deal overseas in the $300,000 range.

We had an earlier report that Brown had signed with a new agency in the hopes of playing professional basketball again, and now we know that he's focused on playing outside the U.S., which makes a ton of sense given that he never really panned out at the NBA level. Aug 23 - 3:38 PM

Kwame Brown has signed with a new agency with the hope to start playing again.

He hasn't been in the league since 2013, so the 34-year-old center would be lucky to land a training camp deal. The former No. 1 pick will not have an impact in fantasy leagues this season. Aug 22 - 1:48 PM

It was just a matter of time and he has yet to play with the team this season. Brown will likely clear waivers and will get a chance to sign with another team. The former first overall pick from 2001 doesn't have much left in the tank, though. Wed, Nov 20, 2013 05:37:00 PM

Brown recently suffered a strained right hamstring and the Sixers apparently opted to leave him stateside while he recuperates. The Sixers open the preseason in Spain against Bilbao Basket, and then travel to Manchest, England to face the Thunder. Sat, Oct 5, 2013 09:10:00 AM

Jerryd Bayless (wrist) will not play against the Pelicans on Thursday.

He didn't even travel with the team. The 76ers were listing Bayless as questionable last week for his wrist soreness, but they're ruling him out early for every game so far this week. Sergio Rodriguez will continue to start and get the lion's share of the PG minutes, so he's a hold in standard leagues until Bayless gets back on the court. T.J. McConnell will get the backup minutes.

76ers head coach said the team is committed to using Ben Simmons (foot) as their point guard once he's ready to return.

Simmons is targeting a January return and Brown said the team will waste no time putting the ball in his hands once he's healthy. "When he’s ready to go to the court, my intention is to give him the ball and let him be the point guard," Brown said. "That’s the plan. That doesn’t just happen. It takes a little bit of time to introduce him." While Simmons is an intriguing stash, he's likely to have his minutes managed upon his return and is tough to roster in standard leagues.

Jahlil Okafor (gastroenteritis) has officially been ruled out for Thursday's game vs. New Orleans.

He remained home in Philly as he recovers from his illness. Okafor's next chance to play will be on Saturday vs. Detroit. Joel Embiid will play 28 minutes on Thursday with Richaun Holmes backing him up.
